Can you solve this Optimization Problem?

Jan 16, 2024

Hi there!

Today I have another new "Quick Solve!" video for you on a calculus 1 topic. This time we work through solving an optimization problem where we want to maximize the area of a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle.

In this video you will learn:

  1. How to find/setup the primary equation in an optimization problem
  2. How to determine the domain for an optimization problem
  3. How to use differentiation to solve an optimization problem (using the product & chain rules!)

As you watch this video, feel free to follow along and take notes using the worksheet I've created to accompany it that you can download here.

 Enjoy!
